Abstract: The invention relates to an agent supporting the immunomodularity for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, said agent containing C3-C8 carboxylic acids, their physiologically tolerable salts and/or esters with C1-C8 alkyl alcohols, their use as supporting immunomodulators for autoimmune related diseases and immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as dietary supplements with immunomodulating effect containing these.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of determining if a patient is afflicted with multiple sclerosis (MS) using microRNA (miRNA) profiles of specific miRNAs that are present in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This method can also be used to discriminate different forms of MS. The invention further comprises a kit for diagnosing or monitoring MS based upon the miRNA profiles according to the invention, and also relates to the use of said miRNA profiles in the diagnosis or monitoring of MS.
